Do play with scaleIf the architectural mouldings are not original we tend to beef up what might have existed, and we do the same with furniture. Size matters. Do exactly what you want to doDon’t worry about fashion or about what anyone else might think. If you're using a decorator……take their advice.

Hosting a house party is a fine art | GettyPenske Media via Getty ImagesThe last time I gave a decent-sized drinks party, things started to mushroom quickly. Eight close friends became 12, then suddenly 24. As we were preparing the room, clearing away furniture and polishing glasses the BBC announced the late Queen’s serious illness, then death. People arrived in various states of shock, most people drank (a lot).

Kime Study Warwick Sq by Simon UptonKime Study Warwick Sq by Simon UptonA month ago on a transatlantic flight I found myself seated next to a well known London-based novelist. She had published a review of the book I was reading and we talked for a while about that.

Mixing periods and styles is something that I’ve always done and it feels natural to me. I fell into interior decorating by accident when I started working in a shop on Marylebone High Street, W1. I lit cigarettes and made cups of tea for my grouchy boss, but in the quiet moments after I had cleaned the cabinets, gone to the post office, washed the windows and floor, and unpacked the new arrivals, I would be allowed to pick through the boxes of magazines.

A few weeks ago, the designer Pieter Mulier staged his latest Alaïa show in his own home in Antwerp: an apartment in Riverside Tower, a brutalist building designed in 1968 by Léon Stynen and Paul de Meyer.
